El Campanu - the first wild salmon of the season
Posted: Sat Apr 01, 2006 4:36 pm
Asturias's rivers are known for their excellent wild salmon, which reaches exorbitant prices when salmon season starts. The first salmon of this season, "el Campanu" (the "bell-ringer") was caught in the Eo River, weighed 3,7 kg and the bait used was shrimp. It was sold to the restaurant "Casa Tista" near Ribadesella for 12.000 EUR (yes, twelve thousand Euros)!
Tista obviously invited his most loyal customers to sample it for free.
